Suites carved directly into the caldera cliff at Oia, each terrace hung above a flooded volcanic crater.

Overview
Inside the Caldera
Every suite, the pool, the spa and the restaurant face the caldera.
Canaves Oia is built directly into the volcanic cliffs of Oia, and the arrangement is total: every suite, the infinity pool, the indoor-outdoor spa and the restaurant all face out across the caldera. It sits in the heart of Oia rather than out along the road, which keeps it clear of the cruise-tour traffic while leaving the village’s galleries and restaurants walkable. Suites are freshly renovated in a chic modern register, with balconies holding plunge pools above the Aegean.
The spa is inside a cave. Canaves Spa is built into a natural cave, with two treatment rooms, a Rasul steam bath, a sauna and an outdoor couples’ treatment room facing the caldera.
